Well, who is Harry Grier.?
He came from Tonopah and also

taken hold of affairs in Carson stamps
him as one of the live wires this city
needs. People who knew him during
the Goldfield days had his qualities
measured, as he became inocculated
with the 1oost bug down south, and it
is incurable. He is at it here in Carv

are shaken from the Republican tree

then Carson can say, welcome the day.

worthy of favorable comment.
